Blackadder was a unique sitcom from the eighties, starring Rowan Atkinson. There were four series, each of 6 episodes plus three specials. Each was set in a different time period, medieval England, The Court of Queen Elizabeth I, around 1800 and in WW1. In each Atkinson plays a member of the Blackadder family, "helped" by a servant called Baldrick. It is one of the UK's most popular comedies. Atkinson is also famous as Mr Bean. Hugh Laurie who played George now pretends to be an American in many US films after starring in House.

Blackadder ran for 4 series, each in it's own time period, getting closer to modern times with each one. It ended mostly because they'd run out of ideas but also because they'd run out of periods in time to portray (the final series was set in WW1). The final episode of that season though has gone down as one of the greatest moments in British TV history though. (It's called Goodbyeee if you want to look it up).

I cant believe that you don't know Rowan Atkinson, he is a world-famous British comedian, Known more widely as Mr Bean but Blackadder comes a close second. The whole cast are world-known Comedians and Actors, Hugh Laurie Tim McInnerny, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, Tony Robinson, Rik Mayall Miranda Richardson, Hugh Laurie and more. And you miss the point completely, It takes a look at the class system in the UK and laughs at it. Four different generations of Blackadders try to fight the system to get from middle class to upper class but each time Blackadders plans are thwarted by his superiors. And then Baldrick is the lower class and Blackadder pokes fun at the lower class, the common people, great comedy if you can understand the finer points of it. The Show was never canceled but ran its course. This has become a classic of British humour and the whole cast went on to other projects in Comedy and Acting

[@dulciemidwinter1925]

So glad you liked this. Its the most brilliant series ever! You should watch it from the very first series as it sort of unfolds on itself with each new episode. The last one was set in WW1 and the ending was truly emotive. I'm hoping when the plague of wokeness has been eradicated entirely from this world, new generations will see these shows and understand that it was simply funny. The insults were never really meant to hurt it and was all very, very tongue in cheek and they laughed at themselves every bit as much as they laughed at others.

Blackadder was played by Rowan Atkinson best known for Mr Bean. George (Lt. in WW1) was played by High Laurie best known for Dr House. Tony Robinson was the only member of the cast who hadn't graduated from university, most from Oxford or Cambridge. Blackadder ran for several seasons starting in the middle ages when he was Lord Blackadder young son of the king, Elizabeth I when he was a member of the court, Georgian when he was the butler to the prince regent and WW1 when he was a Captain in the trenches. There were some special and a special film for the millennium dome in 2000. Most of the cast started in the early 80s with "not the nine o'clock news".

Having sat through a load of american comedy starting back in the 60s - with the single exception of the unbelievably outstanding ‘MASH’ - I’d rather watch a tumble-dryer than an american comedy show. There’s only one other comedy series in the world that even gets close to Blackadder - and that’s ‘Allo, Allo’ - treat yourself - watch all of Blackadder and Allo, Allo - and report back!

As others have said Blackadder was never "Cancelled"... it's just that style of witty insults. It ran for four seasons, the main ensemble cast consisting of Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder, (Sir) Tony Robinson as Baldrick, Tim McInerney as Percy / Darling, Stephen Fry as Melchett (and briefly Duke of Wellington) and Hugh Laurie as George. Other recurring cast included Rik Mayall as Flasheart, and Miranda Richardson as Elizabeth. Being set initially in the Medieval period - Blackadder is a Prince; the second series was in the court of Elizabeth I - Blackadder is a Viscount (Lord); the third is during the Georgian Regency - George as in the future George IV - Blackadder is his Butler/Valet; the Forth series is in the trenches of the Western Front of WWI - Blackadder is a middle-class grammar school educated officer who's served for close to 20 years. There were a couple of specials - a reworking of A Christmas Carol, which reversed the plot by making a philanthropic Blackadder into the sarcastic misanthrope of the series; a few sketches - one about the English Civil War, another a monologue of contemporary times of bringing Britain back to number one, by invading France. And for the Millennium, a story called Back and Forth - Baldrick accidentally creates a time machine. Hence their greatest hits, plus a T-rex and the Roman occupation. These clips are from the third, fourth and Back and Forth.

Ahhh BLACK ADDER... A classic British comedy from the eighties. You were obviously taken aback with Lieutenant George dressed as a woman, the reason being that a concert party was organised for the troops with which Captain Black Adder was in charge of proceedings and George was the traditional drag act, which was common practice - and probably still is, although there are more real women in today's armed forces to fill a role - and he told jokes and sang popular songs of the time. I strongly recommend you view the whole series to understand the context of the clips you reacted to. The four series are set in different periods of history, with the first set during the reign of Richard III, the second during Elizabeth I reign, third series during the reign of George III (Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent) and the fourth series set during WWI. There is also a millennium special: Black Adder Back and forth, where He and Baldrick go back in time, with wacky time lines thrown into utter chaos! All the series are based on historical fact, albeit with artistic licence for comedic purposes, obviously but gives the viewer an entertaining history 'lesson' of sorts. Some jokes and references you may not get, which is understandable being a British comedy but that's not too much of a problem really as it's fairly easy to follow. Give it a go anyway, as it's a very clever series with all sorts of farce and mayhem and general goofyness which in general, takes the Mickey out of all of us, with the goofy way we humans are. I hope this has been a bit of help to give you an idea of what goes on within the Black Adder dynasty! Cheers, all the best to you 😁 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸

Blackadder follows the original Blackadder and his two henchmen, and their descendants/reincarnations, through history, starting in the Middle Ages. There's a separate show/series with a single season of six or seven episodes per descendant/reincarnation: _Blackadder, Blackadder II, Blackadder the Third,_ and _Blackadder Goes Forth._ Absolutely anyone who hasn't watched all four shows/seasons should definitely do do. Anyone who has watched them should definitely watch them again. Blackadder is played by Rowan Atkinson, most famous role is as _Mr. Bean,_ a title character of his own creation. His henchman with a sense for hygiene, with changing names between eras, is played by Hugh Laurie, most famous for his role as the title character _Dr. House,_ though he's also known, especially in Europe, for his role as Wooster in _Jeeves and Wooster._ His henchman without even a concept of hygiene, always known as Baldrick, is played by Sir Tony Robinson, a truly astonishing actor, in film, series, theater, audio, and stand-up, who was knighted for his public and charity work. Several other actors also play in more than one season/show, and absolutely all of them deserve praise, but I have limited time.

Mr bean and dr house! LOVED this back in the eighties. As a swede this was a great way to learn English before youtube and well,...internet. As a kid I loved this, allo allo and fawlty towers and... . Swedes generally appreciate Brittish humor a lot. Today too.

Glad you enjoyed this and got some of the jokes as they can come quick and fast. Backadder was a TV show that had each season in a different period of human history, it remains one of my favourites of all time and was not cancelled, just reached the end of its life as UK shows dont tend to just keep going and going like US ones do. Also this is nothing compared to Catherine Tates the Translator sketch (kzbin.info/www/bejne/joqZZ42AZbl5i6s) or any of the little britain episodes. Also the main actor you may know best as Mr Bean. Also the other guy from Stewart Little was as House (as House the doctor)

It feels weird watching Mr Bean with Dr House as his half-wit assistant.

Blackadder was a much loved sitcom in the best vein of British comedy from the 80’s and early 90’s about a fictional dynasty through differed time periods: medieval, Tudor, Georgian regency and WW1. Rowan Atkinson (mr bean) = all Blackadders Hugh Laurie (house) = all Georges Tim McInerny = all Percys/Darlings Miranda Richardson = Queenie/the black shadow/nurse fletcher brown Tony Robinson = all Baldricks Stephen Fry = all melchets and Duke of wellington. It was never cancelled as back then were all adult enough to have a laugh and respect free speech and freedom of expression unlike the facist dystopian world we inhabit today.

Cancelled?!! Why on earth should that innocent stuff be cancelled?! Seems like you brain brainwashed by someone or something! Jimmy Carr is the one to see for really offensive and non-PC jokes! Would love to see you react to that if not already done so.

Black Adder should be required watching. Watch all of it. I love how Baldric killed all the dinosaurs with his dirty underwear. Once you've finished this, start watching Red Dwarf.

I remember shiny toilet paper, despite being shiny it was rough😂. Oh, and Blackadder was never cancelled, it ended in a very poignant way with the recurring main characters apart from General Melchett(Stephen Fry) going ‘over the top’ in Flanders in WWI, it was beautifully done and exquisitely depicted the loss of life and futility of war.

[@colettenewton1959]

Watch it again. Stephen Fry was in that last scene.

@@colettenewton1959 Thanks, you’ve refreshed my memory, I remember now, he was. Tbh it wouldn’t have been right without him.

Blackadder what a lovely and smart series

[@tigrisparvus2970]

You should definitely check out a couple of full episodes from the 4th series. They are fairly self contained and the series got better as they went along.

Funniest man to live. Rowan could crack you up just with facial expressions. Sooo funny you need to watch episodes from series 2/3/4 will wet yourself😂

[@hotmechanic222]

Rowan Atkinson played Mr Bean and Hugh Laurie starred as Dr House in House

[@Celtwoman1949]

Great set of series

[@JohnHMarsden]

It's still considered one of the best british sitcoms, they don't make them like this anymore 🤣
